Percy Tau made a scoring return to Al Ahly after nearly a month on the sidelines with injury as he netted the winner in their 2-1 victory against Modern Future on Tuesday, 16 July.
Tau was a second half substitute for Al Ahly in their Egyptian Premier League match in which the Red Devils had to come from behind to win.
According to the Afrik Foot ZA website, Tau scored through a header in the 62nd minute to give Al Ahly the lead which they managed to hold onto to claim all three points.
Substitute Reda Slim crossed a ball from a corner and with Tau positioned in the box, the Bafana Bafana star headed low into the bottom right corner.
Al Ahly second in the standings
Al Ahly had been pegged back early when Arnold Tchebegna gave Modern Future a 26th minute lead, but the Cairo Red Devils responded with the equaliser on the stroke of half-time through Emam Ashour.
Coach Marcell Koller then sought to freshen up things in attack and brought on Tau who made his first appearance since June.
The former Mamelodi Sundowns star wasted no time in making his presence felt with the goal that earned Al Ahly all three points.
Tau has been out since sustaining a hamstring injury while on international duty in June.
Al Ahly, who are bidding to defend their league crown, lie second in the standings with 63 points, five behind leaders Pyramids, but with three matches in hand.
